DirectX9 User Interfaces: Design and Implementation (Wordware Game Developer's Library) eBook Download

Bring together the theory and practical code to create a working media player.


Source Code too simple and of little value for a real game.
This book is really out of date and is not the GUI toolkit I hoped it would be.

PROS (not many)
- Easy reading book.

CONS
- As stated before, code in book does not match code on CD.

If you're looking for decent code with somewhat decent comments then save yourself some money and just download the DirectX SDK.






Dissapointing
Being very favourable it could be called a code listing.

Avoid.


Good job at teaching GUI, but code is bad
First off, the book is good at learning how to design a GUI. This makes trying to learn some things very hard as you can't look at the code in the book and compare to it the code on the CD.

There is also errors with the code on the CD.

The best way to use this book is to use it as a guide to design your own GUI in your own graphics engine.

The Code on the CD is a bit better but still there are things in that code that just wont let me compile it.

I wish this book had a website with corrections because the book itself is good and thats what leads me to write this.


I hope this helps
